People often say, "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder," which I also find quite true. Here in the United States, people might find men that are tall, dark, and handsome or women with blue eyes and blonde hair and a curvy figure attractive, but that may not be true somewhere else in the world. After doing more research on attractiveness, I have found out that what people generally think is attractive is very different around the world, and has changed through the years. As early as the 15th century, people that were fat and pale were believed to be beautiful because that meant they made enough money to eat and stayed out of the sun. Now, thin models and models with plenty of muscle are attractive and are all over advertisements. Around the world, levels of attractiveness vary even more. Women in Thailand wear brass rings around their necks to show elegance. Maori men and women in New Zealand get sacred tattoos on their faces. Who knows what will be the definition of beauty in the future!
This is such a strange topic for almost every generation. The "most attractive" person can vary so much throughout the years. In my opinion, everyone has their own distinction of what they find to be beautiful. But it seems like there is a cultural norm that everyone seems to agree to even if their own views are not the same. As is with many things, people conform to the popular view while having their own ideas so as to not seem weird, or out of the usual.
